Traction Man Meets Turbodog Reviews

Mini Grey is a consistently brilliant writer and illustrator, brimming with ideas and invention, and this is another triumph * Daily Telegraph *
Mini Grey's comic-strip story, with its busy frames and witty filmic references, celebrates true friendship, dirt and all * Guardian *
I can't recommend Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog highly enough . . . A witty and surreal picture book that's suitable for both reading aloud and first attempts at reading alone. It's slightly subversive in a Toy Story way, but is absolutely and utterly British. Don't miss it * thebookbag.co.uk *
Another brilliant picture book from Mini Grey, whose sense of humour and adventure, love of the language of the toy box and understanding of childhood fantasy is matched by her pictorial invention and a skill at characterisation that can make even a scrubbing brush appealing * Books for Keeps *
A brilliant and playful parody of an action-hero drama by quirky writer Mini Grey * Junior *
